Just to be clear, these are meant as examples for the three language 
specific rules outlined above.
1. is an example for the "American" style, which consistently puts 
punctuation (commas and periods) inside quotation marks even if the 
punctuation mark does not appear in the original quotation.
2. is an example for the "British" style, which seems to conform to what 
seems to be correct in German.
3. is an example for what the latex csquotes describes as "French" style 
where the footnote mark seems to be included in the quotation just 
before the punctuation mark. Yesterday, I've tried to find examples for 
this rule in French book, and I couldn't. I found this:
	- Punctuation is placed inside or outside the quotation marks depending 
on whether you're quoting a complete sentence.
        - If punctuation is placed inside the quotation marks the order is: 
."[1]
        - If punctuation is placed outside the quotation marks the order is: 
"[1].
        - If there is no preceding quotation the order is: [1].
Maybe a native French speaker can shed some light on this?
